Just the Facts:

Dear Mayor and Commissioners,

I write today in support of the new 1301 South Ocean Drive project.

After reviewing the proposed terms and details of the project, I believe it is an excellent deal for the City both financially and aesthetically. The designs for the new community center, library, and meeting spaces are vast improvements over the current public facilities that are in terrible condition. The additional parking spaces will also help to accommodate beach visitors. All of the proposed additions, including the green spaces, gardens, and public art, will significantly enhance the site and create a much more inviting public space that our entire community can enjoy for generations to come and, significantly, at no expense to the taxpayers

It is also important to me that the beach and dunes will remain pristine and untouched under the proposed plans as the private buildings will be adjacent to A1A, and all of the public improvements and changes will occur west of S. Surf Road.

What makes this project truly extraordinary is that it will all be developed at no cost to taxpayers. In fact, the project produces a revenue stream to the City that will exceed $1 billion benefiting and underwriting other needed projects in both the City and the County.

I believe the proposed 1301 S Ocean Drive project will become a central gathering place for our residents, a focal point for our community, and something that we can be proud of for many years to come. For all of these reasons, I respectfully ask you to vote in favor of the project.

Sincerely,

(name)
